I got my first job in 1975, when I left school at 16. Like my dad, I didn’t go to college or university
but started doing manual work. It wasn’t the best start, but it taught me some valuable lessons.
Then, in 1981, I started an engineering course at my local college. The skills I learnt working have
helped me a lot – now I’m an engineer.
Text 1
I got my first job this summer, working in a restaurant in the town centre. I got the job through a
friend at college. It sounded ideal – a chance to earn some money before I went to university. Big
mistake! I started work at 7 p.m. and didn’t finish until two in the morning! I was rushing from one
table to the next, taking orders and carrying trays. I never got a break.
Text 2
I got my first job while studying at university. Students should work and not just study. I found a
part-time job in a hotel. It was great, because I was studying tourism and the work gave me on-
the-job training while I studied. It was quite exhausting; studying and working, but it was really
good training and I found it rewarding.
Text 3
I joined the army after leaving school, because I didn’t want to study. The training was really
physical and I struggled to cope at the start, but I don’t regret joining up at all. You see the
practical benefits of your work in a career like this and if I hadn’t joined the army, I would never
have gone to somewhere like Japan. I went to help the UN after the terrible tsunami hit the country
in 2011.
Text 4
I got my first job after leaving university at 21. I know it was a late start, but I never had to work
when I was younger and in education. I got a job in an office, the work was pretty menial and my
boss was a complete control freak. The job market is so competitive and I couldn’t find a job in the
areas I had studied. After two years, I’m still there, but I can’t see myself staying long-term.
Text 5
This winter, I’m working at a football stadium dressed as a cartoon character to sell soft drinks to
people. At least I get to watch football while I work! I doubt I’ll be doing the job long-term; it’s only
over the winter, so I can save enough money for university. The work is tiring, though. Imagine
being stuck inside a hot and heavy costume for hours.
Text 6
My first job was in a supermarket when I was 15. I worked really hard and tried to be a good
employee. I got lots of on-the-job training and quickly progressed – after a year, I got my first
promotion. Now, after 10 years, I’m the manager of the store. My job requires me to have good

3. communication skills and that’s what I am really good at. You wouldn’t be able to do this job if you
were no good at talking to people. Hopefully I’ll have a job for life.
Text 7
I got my first real job this summer, working in a law firm. I studied law at university for five years
and if it wasn’t for my dad, I wouldn’t be in this job – he’s the senior partner in the firm. Getting a
good job is sometimes about who you know. I’m slowly getting the hang of things now. Hopefully,
I’ll start dealing with clients on my own soon.
